Brother was once great.... Not much now, and the Brother printer I have won't be hard to replace. I have a old Kodak printer that the Brother replaced. It functions wirelessly, way better than my Brother.....

Can't seem to make it work via a cloud. My home printer I can print from when I'm out on mobile data. This app doesn't see to do that. I have to be on its network locally. Would love to activate it to work via a cloud but can't see how. It only works once after its uploaded! If I have to print again I have to uninstall it and install it again! Seriously it doesn't work at all well!

The image quality of the documents I printed are printed in pixel quality. I have do all the setting and cannot be fix. At the end I uninstalled this app and use other brothers printing app, problem solved. However that app cannot print the file from Google drive. So I installed this plugin again and nightmare comes again.

App dont work. Hardly ever connects and when connecting it take forever to process a print job.Most of the tine will not print due to error messages from the spooler. No way to contact support using the app. Keeps directing a page to printer support for the printer only. Highly disorganized support page. Not user friendly. I speak English not robot.

I can't even open this app. It downloads and doesn't show up in my apps and in the play store it only says "uninstall". I've been having so much trouble with this brother printer. It won't connect to any of our laptops or my phone. I'm going to throw the printer out there window and go back to HP or another brand.

At first I had no complaints - easy installation and it enabled printing to my Brother printer via my phone. Then I saw the quality of the print (and fine quality was selected). Really poor. No point keeping this plugin installed.

I attempted multiple times to add brother on to my phone. It keeps saying that it cannot add printers. This is very frustrating and not conducive to me getting my work done. I wish there was a negative star rating. Please fix immediately thanks!

Great dream to print from my phone and I can get it to work... But everything is super blurry. I feel like I have 20/100 vision whenever I look at the printout. I have HL-3170CDW and have tried both of the "quality" settings.

Garbage. When it's not crashing repeatedly, it's silently draining your battery. When it works, the quality is atrocious. Get with the program, Brother, or my next printer will definitely not be from you.

The print out i get from my phone are blurry and uses more ink, when i print the same document on my pc the print out is sharp and uses just the right ink, it was working fine few months ago but the recent update may have gone wrong.

Not working-again. When this app works, it's great. Unfortunately, you never know when/if it's going to work. Sporadic at best. Weird large print (like 5 lines of print per page) also comes & goes. But it's the only app that works w/my Brother printer so I guess I'm stuck.

Don't download! Could print on a brother printer with out the plug in. Then one day it needs so I download it. Now I can't find the printer even with manual searches and using the up address of the printer in the search. This plug in has only taken away the ability to use a brothers printer. This plug in should be removed from the Google play store.

First thing that pops up after installing is saying something like whatever you print could pass through servers on the internet. Really! I want to print to my printer sitting in front of me, on my network. Why does my documents need to go all over the world to print on my printer, on my network.

This app is garbage! The whole time I've had it I've been successful maybe twice u can sit and reconnect a thousand times and it'll disconnect or says it's connected yet when u try to print says printer not available this app shouldn't even be available if yall ain't going to stay up on the reviews and kno that it's worthless this is the only thing I've ever had w so many connection issues! Brother has been around long enough yet they can't make their printers work like they claim all over their box when ur buying the damn thing!!!!!!
